Indian stock markets gained ground on Tuesday, with the BSE Sensex (India's benchmark 30-share index) rising over 500 points and the NSE Nifty climbing more than 100 points in early trade, buoyed by a pause in hostilities between Iran and Israel following a U.S.-brokered de-escalation appeal. Falling crude oil prices — Brent crude dipped below $94 per barrel — offered additional relief for India, which is heavily dependent on oil imports, while broader Asian markets also traded higher. Analysts cautioned, however, that the peace remains fragile and that sustained foreign institutional selling continues to weigh on large-cap stocks, keeping traders wary of a sustained rally.
